President-Elect 2022-2023: Brittany St. Jean, Psy.D. One of my favorite things about being a psychologist is having the opportunity to connect with others who share the common goal of providing quality psychological care and advocating for the individuals we serve. I joined the board to be apart of something greater than myself, and to be an agent of change. I’m deeply committed to strengthening New Hampshire communities and improving access to mental health care across the state, which aligns with NHPA’s value of practicing psychology to promote human welfare. It’s an honor to be part of the NHPA’s dedicated group of psychologists working together to better our profession and our state. Years on board: 3 |

Treasurer: Cerissa Desrosiers, Psy.D.
I am deeply grateful for the privilege that my upbringing and education have afforded me, and community service is a value that I hold dear. I choose to participate in NHPA governance as a way to invest my time and energy into supporting and connecting with psychologists and mental health practitioners in an effort to team- up to secure additional high-quality therapeutic resources for families.
